SOMETHING ABOUT WIGS.
THE DIFFERENT SORTS THERE ARE,
AND WHAT THEY USUALLY COST.

The First Thing to DO Decided When
Getting Wig Ventilation - Making
the Mcasurements--A Realistic Effect.
Wigs for Women.
There is IL great deal more to a wig than
appears &c the untutored mind even Of bald
man. There are ready made and made to
order wigs of almost as many shades and
styles as there are bald men to wear them.
The prices vary from a three dollar cheap
mat Of hair to hide a coming bald spot to
beautiful combinations that cost hundreds Of
dollars The first thing TO be done in getting
a wig is TO decide how much you want to
pay. An ordinary plain weft wig, as it is
called, costs Slj, unless the bald headed man
wants a gray one, which will cost s. more
This wig will cover bald head as well as a
$50 ventilated wig with gauzo seams, but the
owner Of it would not feel as well or look as
pretty as lie would with a wig with all
modern improvements.
After the plain weft wig comes the weft
wig with gauze seams This wig costs So
more, and if extra quality hair Of fine look
ing gray or other rare color is wanted its
value may be as high as $50. In a gauze
seam wig the parting of the hair is on
gauze, and the wig is more deceptive. Tho
gauze shows up white in imitation of the
natural scalp. 1t takes more art to do this,
and extra art cost money
WITH HAIR NET SEAM
Ambitious bald heads may buy the weft
wig with hair net scam. This is an improve
ment still over the gauze seam, and such
improvements cost s. cacll-gray hair extra
rates. wig manufacturers describe this as
